For people who work weekend part time jobs or side hustles, what do you do? I want to pad money on the side for my retirement.

I’ve been thinking about getting into real estate investing. Not right now but later down the road. I’ve been trying to save up for a down payment. What are some good resources for a beginner? Blogs, YouTube, books etc I’m not looking for paid courses because I will be learning at a slow pace. Any help will be appreciated.

Deloitte: 1.5% salary match paid out once a year, fully vested after 4 years. Defined benefit pension plan, fully vested after 3 years

I'm new to all this. Is it best to save 10% of my salary all in my company's 401k (with 20% match, increasing by 5% every year)... or saving 5% in 401k and 5% in a Roth IRA?

Building im applying to has a $1,000 move in deposit. Are these usually refunded? The agent is checking with management but they are being super slow to answer. I want to move quick on this so I don’t lose the apartment

How do people afford to buy $1M houses in Chicago? Surely not everyone buying them is rich (which is somewhat of a subjective term). My wife and I are 30 and have a combined income of almost $300k and trying to buy something that expensive seems asinine yet people do it. Am I missing something?

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but do you charge tax on your freelance, 1099 invoices? Trying to accommodate for taxes being taken out and inflation 😪 would love to know if this is common practice - I’m in NYC. Thanks!

Hello folks, any credit card suggestions with good benefits and cash-back? Please advise. TIA

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

Why do firms not use vested stock options as incentive in earlier stages of career?

Where can I buy Jasmy? Is it worth buying, pls advise. Thank you!!

I am trying to justify house buying in HCOL city. The house cost is minimum 1.4m .monthly mortgage would be at least 7k(with just around 2k principal) rest goes to either int,tax. Not to mention regular house maintenance. How is it better than 3.5k rental. I understand appreciation and own house independence. But I am just trying to make numbers work.

What is the most reliable way to make $750k a year by your late 30s?

Feeling a large wash out on TSLA is coming. Up on the week on leaked Musk email relating to deliveries. That number came in today at a beat. Bought todays puts when stock at 1208. Looking for 1150. Profit taking is coming. Don’t follow as risk is high.

Is it good to get stocks as part of CTC which has 4 years vesting period?

CTC looks high due to this stocks but effectively i would not be getting it for the 4 years. Also the yearly hike includes this stock component.

CTC had fixed, variable and stock part. Variable and stock is almost 30% of total ctc.

Really confused if this is a good deal or is it a trap.

What’s the biggest point of pain for you Indy’s, that tech or other services hasn’t fixed yet?

I’m feeling anxiety about Coronavirus. Does anyone else think that the virus is being used by the government for population control? I don’t know if I’m paranoid.

I have been in advertising roles in media and account for the past 1.5 years but I really want to make a career move to PR because that is what I studied and where my passion lies. I know the market is really tough especially here in NYC. Do you recommend I apply for Account Coordinator Roles or the next level up? I don't have formal PR agency experience but I have experience from my education and in house internships, and general agency experience from my current and past roles Thanks!

Looking to move from Boston to NYC this May / June. What are the best moving companies to use?

I left an investment bank to join a private equity firm about a month ago. I am now working on a deal that I previously worked on when I was on the sellside (I literally made the entire CIM). Any tips on how to handle this? Is it fine to tell my current firm everything I know about the company?

What impact has the prestige of your school had on your career?

I’m happy with my relationship but the thing is I never really have a spark with the girl. Can someone relate or explain? I’m not sure if I should keep doing this. Maybe I’m just in an comfort zone now?

Agency recruiters, how would you rate today’s market for creatives? Is it more of a freelancers’ market or is it tight for everyone at the moment?

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?

If I’m at 150k now as an account director, making a lateral move, what’s the most I could ask for?

What's the difference between entry level and associate level? I'm two years into my career and thinking of making a jump to a different industry. Would that be considered associate since I have experience?

Hi! I’m currently a Sr. Recruiter at an Agency, looking for a better opportunity in NJ. I have a B.S. in HR Management, 3.5 total years in Recruiting/HR. I have experience recruiting for various industries, and across board for different levels (entry, supervisor, manager, director, cfo). I’m seeking hybrid or on-site positions at this time - any leads or reach outs are appreciated!

Freelance talent available. Would love to discuss any opportunities you guys come across

Ok, after an HR screening (and salary requirements) I had 3 interviews. Then HR calls for references and to be “reminded” of salary requirements. All 3 references now contacted. Will I get an offer?

Any recruiters want to 👀 at my shiny new site? I would love to hear your thoughts overall and also ask about the site order. Thanks so much. Please comment below for the link.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?

TBWA NY recruiter?

Is it ok to reach out to a recruiter via email on a previous job position thread in regards to a new/higher role that more matches what you are looking for now?

Recruiters, is it frowned upon for candidates to reach out to you on DM on Linkedin? Or does it show that they’re more interested than just submitting an application?

Any advice on how to find new creative interns in NYC? We aren’t a big agency but we have some great opportunities!

Do you actually take the time to reject people after initial interviews? Or do you wait for the candidate to reach back out to you? I’ve noticed a lot of agencies don’t seem to follow up

Do recruiters ever reply to any of these threads

What types of questions do you like to ask candidates during your first initial conversation with them?

Creative recruiters. When looking at candidates, how much does the resume matter vs. the portfolio? Do you even look at the resume? Thanks

Does anyone actually get jobs through using LinkedIn easy apply? If there’s a cover letter submission component- how important is that part? In general are cover letters super important?

When you hear the title “consumer product manager” vs “product marketing manager”what job responsibilities do you assume each person has? Or do they seem the same? There has been some confusion internally for a new team/role and wanted to get a check from all of you on perception!

If you’re working with a freelance recruiter/ headhunter but know of open positions outside the ones they’ve brought to you, is it best to reach out to the agencies yourself or through the recruiter?
